CVE-2006-2185
PORTAL.NLM in Novell Netware 6.5 SP5 writes the username and password in cleartext to the abend.log log file when the groupOperationsMethod function fails, which allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.62%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
